 of the posterior legs are very variable in number. In the figure 

 quoted above there is only one on each joint. In some of the 

 " Thetis " specimens there are as many as three on each side, and 

 in a young example, with a carapace measuring 20 by 30 mm., 

 they are absent. 



The spaces between the antero-lateral teeth are fringed with 

 long hairs, and there is also a submarginal fringe commencing on
